Heading into the 2025 season, the Illinois football team is poised for a big year.
If you didn’t know by the millions of times I have said it in articles, the Illini won 10 games in 2024. This was the best season since 2001. It was a year that Illinois fans can hang our hat on, and hopefully, the program keeps building.
Now that we are oh so close to the 2025 season, Illinois should be in for another great run. With 16 out of 22 starts back in the fold, Bret Bielema has the Orange and Blue looking like a national contender.
